There isn't much reported by emacs apart from the rather terse:

In the set-up I'm running on (ChromeOS) I can only have one X frame at a
time. --daemon mode is the only way I know of to keep a running Emacs
and create and delete X frames to trigger this crash (it doesn't happen
every time).

How would I start Emacs with a terminal session from which I could
create X frames? I tried "emacs -nw" but when I execute (new-frame) it
only brings up a new tty frame.
